My Two Latest Soaps....

[topcat]

Hi everyone!

Here are two of my newer soaps, still curing.

This one is Very Vanilla - using BBs Vanilla Select fo which is absolutely yummy! My boys (including my DH) want to eat this DH even asked if I could use the fo to make a dessert....I said no, so he said to do it anyway and he would be the guinea pig!....I'm not going to by the way.....the brown is from the fo and I did the reverse swirl by adding a little bit of TD powder to some of my batter before adding the fo to the rest.

Tiger Eyes soap - I am undecided what to name this one actually. The fo is called tiger eyes and I like that, but I also like Tiger Tiger or Tiger's Eye (as in the gem). I have included cocoa butter and macadamia oil in this as well as using cocoa powder for the dark brown swirl. I left some batter uncoloured and coloured the larger part with paprika extract to get the orangey tone.

Thanks for looking!

Oh, thank you Rosey & Kitn! The Tiger Eyes fo is very nice and quite masculine oob. Once in my soap (admittedly I soaped at about 1.5%) it is light and a bit creamy smelling with oriental notes. I think I will increase the amount next time to 2%.

Tanya, those are great! The "tiger eye" one is really different. Nice!

Love them both but the tiger's eye really stands out. Congrats on some beautiful soaps.

Very pretty. Love the chunkiness of your soaps. I used Tiger Eyes in candles and had bad response. I think it is more of a soap scent. Oriental.

They are beautiful soapies, and I love thye colurs and the swirls!

Absolutely gorgeous swirls! The vanilla one is perfect and I love the shimmer to it. I also love the color of the Tiger Eyes (Tiger's Eye) soap. I can't decide which name I like better! I have those colors in my living room! Just gorgeous!!
